Listening Sessions / Kayou Nights

Paris — 2026
MusicExperienceDrink Design

An afternoon of listening, drinks and records slowly turning into a night of music, movement and people.

A record being selected during the Vinyl listening session.

Listen

Vinyl started as a listening session.

Records, drinks and conversations shared at a slower rhythm.

A space designed around the simple act of sitting down, choosing a record and taking the time to listen.

Gather

But Vinyl was never only about records or drinks.

The project was built around the people occupying the space, sharing music and moving between the bar, the records and each other.

After dark

As daylight disappeared, the listening session changed rhythm.

The records stayed.

The room got louder.

Kayou Nights began.

Guests gathered around the decks after dark.
